This is a good dictionary for people just taking up the French language, or for travellers. It's pocket-sized, yet it doesn't feel overly abridged. There are handy helps in the back for talking about the time and converting weights, measures, and temperatures. If you're thinking of reading a novel in French or translating some poetry, though, you'll need a more substantial volume!

Reliably good, like all Berlitz language stuff. This is the best French-to-English-to-French dictionary I've found. It's Ideal for 1st year and second year students, and not too bulky or intimidating for the travelling dictionary user.

I could not find things I wanted in it.

As a frequent visitor to various parts of the milky way, I can firmly state that this galactic dictionary is one of the best I've found. Obscure Martian dialects, Venesian slang... it's all there! I was particularly impressed with the extensive attention given to idiomatic expressions unique to the western side of Europa. Whether your travels take you to this local group or ones beyond, you can't go wrong with this dictionary!
